Port-of-Spain, June 11 (IANS) Trinidad and Tobago’s newly elected Indian-origin Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has been invited to attend an international law conference to be held in New Delhi next year, an advocate from India said.
Persad-Bissessar would be the guest of honour at the 17th Commonwealth Law Conference Feb 5-9, 2011 if she accepts the invitation. Some 1,500 law experts from across the Commonwealth will be attending the conference.
Indian advocate R. Santhan Krishnan came here earlier this week to extend the invitation to Persad-Bissessar.
“The event is happening in India next year…we thought that your prime minister should come,” he told the media.
Krishnan hoped that Trinidad and Tobago would host the conference in 2013.
He has also invited Chief Justice Ivor Archie and Attorney General Anand Ramlogan for the Commonwealth Law Conference.
Krishnan also held talks with San Fernando High Court judge Prakash Moosai on the Lawyers’ Cricket World Cup to be held in Barbados in August 2011.
The first tournament was held in India’s Hyderabad city in 2007, which India won while and the second one was held in Cambridge that Australia won.
Persad-Bissessar’s forefathers came from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar between 1845 and 1917 to work on the sugar and cocoa plantations.
